Žižek, S. (ed.) (1994) Mapping Ideology, London and New York: Verso.
Bringing together a host of contemporary analyses of ideology,
as well as some classic texts from the recent past, this book also
contains two contributions from Žižek. One of these is an edited
version of Chapter 1 in The Sublime Object of Ideology and the other is
an original essay. This essay is perhaps Žižek's most succinct and cogent
exploration of the concept of ideology. His basic thesis is that ideology
functions as a kind of spectre concealing the gap between the Real and
the Symbolic. The value of this book (from a Žižekian point of view)
is that it allows the reader to compare Žižek's thesis with Althusser's
classic essay 'Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses' - the other
main theory of ideology which utilizes Lacan's work.
